New TESLA activation function improves neural network parity problem solving

Researchers have introduced TESLA, a novel activation function designed to improve neural network performance on tasks involving binary vectors and parity problems. TESLA utilizes a learnable combination of sine and cosine terms to control polynomial degrees and amplify high-order components, theoretically shaping training dynamics for better structure emphasis. Empirically, TESLA demonstrates strong generalization on parity problems with limited data and robustness against label noise, while also showing comparable performance on the ImageNet-100 dataset.

    TESLA: Taylor Expansion of Sinusoidal Learnable Activations

    arXiv:2608.11970v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The parity problem--deciding whether the number of ones in a binary vector is odd or even--remains challenging for standard neural networks due to linear inseparability and the need for global interactions. We propose TESLA, an acti…
